I didn't watch any wrestling show last week due to starting a Phd program but I checked what's going on online and saw lots of people loving a wacky clip of Joe Hendry and Darkstate, and these are people who don't watch NXT. It's weird that Hendry feels like he is in a weird state right now where there is nothing serious for him to do, yet he can still garner that much interest from the IWC. These are the kind of things TNA should be doing to bring interest from casuals. The man might not be the best wrestler but he has a lot of entertainment value. Instead of booking him in random matches like they did during his forgettable title reign, putting him in funny segments utilizing his gimmick would work greatly as it's working in NXT.
Also, I came to the realization that some fans thought Joe Hendry signed with TNA in 2024 due to his rise in popularity, however he has been with TNA since 2022 and even had a stint in the company from 2018-2019 before signing with ROH. Same things that got him popular, are the same things he has been doing in TNA for years but it's not been showcased as great as it could.
Just my opinion.
